Theists: What is the most compelling argument you have heard for Atheism?
#68
RE: Theists: What is the most compelling argument you have heard for Atheism?
There is no case for atheism, except the lack of a case for theism.
Atheism isn't something you actively make an argument for. Wht can theists not grasp this? Im not an atheist because it is some sensible worldview, anymore than im not a stamp collector because its a great hobby to not collect stamps.
Im an atheist because i reject the arguments in favor of theism. That's it.

Stop trying to equate them. They are not the same. Always trying to make atheism a dogmatic set of ideas, or science a religion, just so you can reverse the argumemts used against you, but it will fail, because you fundamentally misunderstand that lacking belief in some unproven concept is just that, lacking belief. The arguments are against theism, not for atheism.

ROFLOL Maybe you should take a look at the parts I put in bold. Now, hop along to go play with your dollies like a good little girl.

Wow, sexist much?
So being a girl is an insult. Lovely.

And don't try and spin it thats it's about being a child, or you would have said boy, since Brian is male. Girl was an additional to the child, and playing with dolls.

I know, you wont see it. Bigots rarely can see their own bigotry, particularly the subtler kind, which is no less insidious.
